that needs to be running all the time can increase their priority to <codeph>High</codeph> from

the default level (<codeph>Normal</codeph>). By increasing the priority, applications

can protect itself from being closed by the OOM Monitor. For example:</p><ul>

<li><p>IP Phone application receiving IP calls </p></li>

<li><p>Instant Messaging application receiving messages</p></li>

</ul><p>are applications which listens for events from the network all the

time.</p></context>
